Spinitar Hosts Golf for Hope 2018 to Support Cancer Research and Treatment

Article posted on Nov 5, 2018

Every year, Spinitar hosts Golf for Hope to raise money in support of the fight against cancer and diabetes. Since 2015, Spinitar has partnered with City of Hope cancer treatment and research center for the event. The two organizations began collaborating after a Spinitar employee was inflicted with cancer and received wonderful treatment and care from the City of Hope team. We’re thrilled to announce the annual event has raised over $200k over the past 3 years and the aforementioned Spinitar employee is now a two-time bone marrow transplant survivor!

“Cancer has impacted all of us in some way, so what better way to give back than having a fun day of fundraising amongst friends, golfing for hope! We joined the fight!” - Jeff Irvin, Principal, Spinitar
